Scrambler 1000 vs Renegade 1000

2014 Scrambler 1000 XP vs 2014 Renegade 1000 XXC
Dig racing and roll racing on both grass and pavement.
Both riders and within 15 lbs of each other.
Both riders were aiming for a non-bias comparison.
The Renegade would take the Scrambler every time from a stop.
The Scrambler would walk the Renegade from 30 and up rolls.
Bottom line - The Renegade has more bottom end. The Scrambler has more mid-range and high-end. When I say "more", it's only slightly more. Both machines are stupid fast. And one doesn't blow the other out of the water. The scrambler is a smoother riding machine and more forgiving. Both top out at 78 mph.

[@gailgatzke7025]

I own both. I guarantee anyone would love either one even the haters.

[@gregorygrayson7668]

gail gatzke which is faster

[@erichkaufmann5284]

Gregory Grayson renegade, is faster slightly. I own both.

[@Shelby1000r]

I can agree I personally love can am but anything is nice

[@soybean70]

Come on man. You gotta tell us

[@katelynsfunandfriends7149]

The renegade is faster.

[@700Dragon1]

I just bought a Polaris Scrambler, and I love it! Zero issues so far, but it's pretty new. Haven't had a chance to race a can am yet, but will when I get the chance. They are both great wheelers and can't go wrong with either one!

[@Siuco]

I think they are pretty close in all aspects except looks. "Pitbull versus Eagle" Both awesome machines! I own a 2015 XMR 800 - LOVE Can Ams. Great video, thanks for posting

[@ostacruiser2284]

Great vid guys. Both awesome machines....everyone else is playing catch up with Can am and Polaris far out front

great comparison! look pretty equal, depends mainly who gets the hole shot

[@RideWithJosh696]

can am pulls a head every time I race a scrammy, both are fun tho!

[@TyrelLeMan]

Its a horse a piece id say, thanks for sharing ive been looking forward to this race for quite some time!

Really nice machines. Love the Scramblers!!!

Same, thanks for video

[@DavesFootage]

Awesome. Finally get to see those quads head to head.

[@sniper2315]

They need a factory turbo option for these.

[@Bournefort]

Both look like great machines. I always stick with Polaris since I'm from Minnesota.

[@primer3458]

Same Skol!!

[@johnchase2165]

It comes down to what you want. I thought I wanted a Polaris. Went and bought one rode it about four hundred miles trying to give it a chance and it didn’t workout. I went and purchased my 4th can am. This time a renegade and it fit my style of riding. I lost a lot of money on the Polaris. I don’t like how big they are for a lot of reason. Mostly not being able to control them through the trails. The other big thing was mud. It’s hard enough to get mud holes then you have to deal with one set of tires in ruts and the others not. And I feel like the renegade is so much more responsive with a stock carb. You can fix that by buying an aftermarket carb. The difference in price is crazy. And when I went to trade it in at the Polaris dealer they offered me four thousand less than what I paid. When I went to Can am they offered me twenty eight hundred less. So after all was said in done I was not very happy with the four wheeler or Polaris service. Oh Polaris was also upset with me that I went 34 miles over service. So I went where I knew I would be treated good and have a four wheeler that was comfortable for me. I learned my lesson the expensive way. Glad Can Am softened the blow.

[@iirovannas3908]

We went trade our 570 sportsman on the dealership and got 1k€ more than we paid it :D and our polaris atvutvsleds is working good. Different experiences and taste👍

[@MsHaiducu]

can am and polaris are basically the bmw and mercedes of the off road industry.Both produce high quality productsand both come with pros and cons.Whichever you ll get it will serve you well.

[@mikegunn9557]

Its almost not fair comparing these two with each other. The Can Am is primarily sport and is designed to handle more MX style ridding. And the Polaris is a sport utility designed for work and play. The Polaris was intentionally set up with a slower building power plant so it will haul a load and a trailer. Were the Can will build faster RPM for getting in and out of tight corners. Bottom line is Can Am handles more recreational were the Polaris is more Dual. As far as racing its all in the launch. Both awesome machines just depends on what your intentions are. I would love to have both. If I could only choose 1 it would be the Polaris. But I am also a hunter and fisherman.

[@guysmiley91]

That's not true at all. First of they are both amazing machines. But they are the same class bikes. Sport 4x4. They are built to go head to head. The scrambler is a sport bike, not for work.

[@gregrowe1168]

If you want to work, get an Outlander or Sportsman. These are only made to haul ass. Those racks on the scrambler are so small and have such a small weight capacity that you can't haul anything bigger than a small cooler.

[@jrush8328]

Aaron Langworthy both sport, yes. but the can am is set up more aggressively. better lighter mx style tires and better shocks. the scrambler is a sportsman with different plastics and more aggressive clutching. But those who buy either one buy for sport trail riding and will never race.... You cant go wrong with either one. they are both very good machines.

[@haydenb8911]

Mike Gunn nah the outlander and sportsman are meant to be work machines, both of these are marketed as sport quads, notice they both don’t have racks.

[@realthing66]

They are really close looks like, seems to be whoever gets the jump.

[@laplante149]

It looks like the Scrambler will get it on top end. In every race if you watch when the Scrambler is behind it is creeping up on the Can Am.

[@realthing66]

Nice

[@couchdustin1]

Yeah the Scrambler walks me after around 60 from a roll. Dig I got him all the way to the limiter. Now if we wouldn't have that who knows maybe 85 or so it would pass me

[@hagenjohnson1821]

Wat noise is the renegade making its sum with the drivetrain or sum I believe

[@wickedmainah950]

Both look fun and pretty close powerwise..im partial to polaris , handle a little better but wouldnt mind either machine in the collection

[@davinbreeze6987]

Looks pretty even, speed wise..

[@aleksandrrr]

both great machines

[@pullem2theside]

Renegade wins the short race Scrambler wins the long race I have a rene xxc my friend Has the scrambler 1000

[@peto_14]

Polarissssss Scramblerrrrrrr 1000 89hp :D

[@PlayafromtheHimalayas]

I'm looking for some current deals on a 2015 1000 XXC but that Scrammy is nice. The Renegades look like an angry wasp and the Scrambler has that bull dog with an under-bite look to it. Since Polaris dropped 89Hp in the 1000, I wonder if Can Am will now bring out the 1000R (101hp) motor for their 1000 lineup?

[@realthing66]

they will have too do something.

[@gregrowe1168]

They're so close in power that it comes down to which you prefer riding. I'd probably give a slight nod to the Scrambler because of the narrower mid-section due to the inline twin vs v-twin engine design of the Renegade and, although they are small, it does have racks in case you actually want to use them. You have to purchase an accessory rear rack if you want one for the Renegade.

[@realthing66]

Yeah got my scrambler and love it, so smooth

[@jrush8328]

***** its a completely different engine though. it would not fit.

[@db146]

***** Can am has a 121Hp 1000cc turbo

[@jeffmacleod5331]

I own the Scrammy 1000. Are both of these machines stock?

[@Eric0991]

Yes, both completely stock.

[@brendanmccarthy492]

Looks like the can am gets the scrambler off launch. But on the top end scrambler pulls ahead.

[@sandykollmann4970]

Priceless buddys racin

[@nicholaspack7563]

And now in 2016 we have the 1000r

[@jasonboucha44]

I'd like the xc but it makes a whinny screaming sound if hate that very quick I'd rather have the scrambler

[@angus3606]

Good even match.

[@wrsawy]

Damn!!!

[@texans9968]

who's faster at top speed

[@J8ck_hoff]

The Can Am the Polaris has more low end but the can am is not far behind in low end and has much better high end power and the Polaris is quite a bit more heavy.

[@texans9968]

+Thibault thanks for the help

[@bradymacrae6755]

+Thibault I'm pretty sure you have it the complete opposite way, no hate though

[@J8ck_hoff]

+Brady MacRae I just read a article on them they are saying Polaris has a bit more low end power but not much and can ams have a better top end

[@Eric0991]

In stock form (which this video was taken with both machines in stock form) - the Can Am has more low end torque response. The Can Am has that "snap your neck with a push on the throttle" feel. The Polaris, on the other hand, is a much different creature. I'm not sure if you've ever ridden in a turbocharged car, but the Polaris creates a very similar feeling in that the launch is soft and after you get going, starts to pull harder and harder - kind of like when a turbo car goes through turbo lag and then starts pulling like crazy. Keep in mind I'm telling you this after having experience in driving both of these machines and feeling these effects first hand. If you need any further clarification on handling characteristics between these two, please don't hesitate to ask as many questions as you want.

[@rugby3874]

looks like they was pretty close who ever got jump

[@nicholaspack7563]

Which of these are more stable at high speeds?

[@dakhuff8016]

Scrambler. The renegade keeps full assist making steering super touchy in high speed scramblers power steering decreases as speed increases

[@nicholaspack7563]

+Dakota Huff I've always heard the scrambler was twitchy the faster you went. The renegade has a min, med and max setting so I'm not sure how that would be true. Also, I'm pretty sure they are both speed sensitive.

[@dakhuff8016]

+Nicholas Pack yes the Polaris is twitchy and on low hands down renegade 100% i like can am though. Plus renegade is made stronger which makes it not twitch Polaris is made super thin what's sad though is the can am 1000 is actually only a 758cc engine

[@nicholaspack7563]

I own a brute force 750. It's not as fast as the 1000 but it will do better than most think versus the 800's and 850's. Its power steering is stable at any speed. It also has a very strong frame and wonderful engine breaking. I would never consider Polaris for the simple reason that they use single lever breaking. The outlanders do as well, The renegade is the best product from can-am imo but the brute is hard to beat despite the power disadvantage. They have a sharp turning radius and ride very smooth but most of all they are reliable. I also like how kawi's are geared for toque. The can am 800's have more hp but the bf 750 2012 launches harder cause of the way they are tuned, geared, clutched, etc. No comparison to the 1000's though.

[@dakhuff8016]

+Nicholas Pack may look into that ;P sounds good I'm kinda hooked on the Renegade though so it will take quite a lot

[@gosuck1999]

Phenix Is light weight that is why it has a faster acceleration but top speed is poliris

[@clakenotto8065]

And spelling is key.

[@hagenjohnson1821]

Nvm irs the belt I think

[@strix4667]

I have an 850 scrambler and that thing is fast enough for me. I would probably kill myself on a 1000.

[@dylanlendo3833]

Its not that crazy of a difference

[@INGZV]

THE SAME MACHINE DIFFERENT PRICE !

[@xboxiojnn]

Not even close everything about the scrambler is more powerful and more comfortable except for the headlights. I'm not hating on can-am but polaris literally invented the sport 4x4 atv so they have more experience btw the scrambler has 89hp and the reny has 82hp

[@INGZV]

get jacked yhea i know but in the real life its the same utility ! they do the same for the same......... dont have any diference !

[@xboxiojnn]

That's like saying a Ford is the same as a dodge it's not people buy different things because they want different things

[@INGZV]

get jacked But the ATV is different, the two practically have the same technology , and in the real world there is very little difference.

[@INGZV]

get jacked I can am I prefer that its design is made me more aggressive, and materials are of better quality , apart polaris is no longer the best cost- benefit ATV .

[@CHRISB-cb5to]

About equal , riders the difference

[@michaeljung7252]

Can am 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@surajraikar9946]

scrambler is the winner

bad ass. there equal

[@dariuszmalin4491]

Only Renegade

[@stoneycarter5546]

The can am guy is always is slow to react off the line some body need to flag to make it fare !!!

Can't beat a Rotax.

[@davetootka7946]

Michael Hoff lol yes you can

[@mlevi512]

+Dave Tootka not with a pos polaris

[@austinr09]

Michael Hoff except it did beat it half the time lol. What a fucking idiot

[@mlevi512]

Don't get butt hurt... Polaris's are junk and there's no way around it. I live less than 100 miles from their factory and have family that has worked there. Polaris is literally the bottom of the barrel.

[@getwrecked488]

Tacti 9 - who's the butt hurt one? Lol ...... fucking idiot.

[@Max9string]

lol 4x4 racing who cares who is the fastest? what's nice is a lift, 30 inch+ backs or outlaws, snorkels, got all that done 2 my scrammy now its a big boy well not until I remove those lame hand guards lol

[@freefirebattleroyale1971]

creo que gano el polaris, por muy poco•••••••°°°°°°•√√

[@lynchjff]

Lml

[@zachm745]

Everybody is saying close they are equal. No there not the can am beat the scrambler every time when both left th hole at the same time, you can tell that the can am was letting the scrambler get the hit when on asphalt cause he new his bike was faster, the renegade is faster out the hole and on the big stretch, it isnt by much but winnings winning wether by a inch or a mile Via dominik tereto

[@jeremyalvarez216]

Renegade is faster but the scrambler is stronger

[@Eric0991]

+snuff nation The Scramber would walk around the Renegade every time at top speed. The Scrambler had slightly faster acceleration at top end. The Renegade had faster acceleration from a dig. - but the Scrambler would always come back and catch it (provided there was enough room to do so) I was there - I know the two riders - I filmed this video - Accept the truth lol

[@brendanmccarthy492]

snuff nation lol the Polaris is faster top end idiot. The can am beats it out of the hole. That's why it's a close race every time.

[@RideWithJosh696]

its all on rider, I have not lost to a scrammy with my ren xxc 1000r. closest its been is two lengths at 70mph
